Running Ubuntu server and staying constantly at 75+w. From what I’m reading online I’m about double the normal consumption. Nvidia-smi tells me that the GPU is eating about 8-10w. Mobo is a B450M-A PRO MAX, 16 GB RAM.
The server is running some docker containers (plex, *arr suite, rarely an instance of valheim but that doesn’t impact the wattage too much) and nothing more. 2 HDDs.
Any tip?
Well that’s likely where you’re losing some power. Power supplies are not 100% efficient the higher the rating bronze/silver/gold/platinum the higher the percentage of power it’s pulling form the wall goes right to your parts. If you have a cheap bronze psu pure likely around 80% efficiency
